>>11835615>>11835779Careful with BBurago 1/64. Some of their casts are 10/10 like this Porsche but then there are such mistakes as this F40 - awful cast.
>>11835792It looks compressed. Like a step between Muscle Machines and a normal proportion car.
>>11835946It looks horrible, worse than cheapo chink shit from 90s and I had tons od these Chinks. I'm actually working on custom based on shitty chink cast.
>>11835970
>>11835971Sanding down all cast imperfections, adjusting fittment, etc.The cast itself is good, just shitty finish quality. I see huge potential.

>>11835849Beat the game with every monster and there isn't enough mission or story variety.
>>11835885The only one I played was on the nes or snes. Godzilla ps4 was not fun and I'm the biggest goji fan to have ever lived.
>>11835898i dunno maybe this is an armored core fan thing thenNES had 2 games, second is pretty valuable. I think they're both sidescroller platformer things, never put much time into them myselfSNES had that one weird one where you had an upward angle camera perspective and it was all menus
>>11835912oh SNES also had a street fighter ish fighting game that was a follkwup to the PCE-CD one, but that was japan only (the pce-cd(turbografx in the US) did have a US release)
>>11835885Showa Godzilla, 1973, in ZoneFighter.
LolNo more ECMS from HLJ apparently
>>11835810is it over there? US shops just jack up the prices and theres almost little to no difference.
>>11835829Well now, looky here, you’re askin’ a question that’s got more twists and turns than a wild boar chasin’ a hunting hound through a Mississippi briar patch, yes sir.Now, I ain’t never been one to fly across that big ol' blue ocean pond to go lookin’ at how they do things over there in Europe—heck, I’m perfectly content right here where the sweet tea flows like a river and the mallards fly low—but I can tell you this much just from usin' the good Lord's common sense.When you start talkin’ about the almighty dollar versus whatever kind of plastic play-money they’re passing around over across the sea, you’re walkin' into a whole different blind, you see what I'm sayin'?Out here in America, if a boy wants a brand new toy tractor or a little plastic bow and arrow set to play in the dirt with, you walk right on into the local store, you look at the little sticker on the box, and you pay your greenbacks.But over there in Europe, from what the boys tell me, they got all kinds of fancy government ideas, and they slap this thing called a "Value Added Tax"—they call it a VAT tax, which sounds to me like somethin' you’d brew up a batch of catfish bait in—and they hide that right inside the price tag!So right off the bat, before you even get to the cash register to pull out your wallet, you're already payin' for the road pave-ment and whatever else they got goin' on over there, whereas over here, we keep it straight and simple, just like checkin' the wind before you blow your duck call.And that ain't even the whole hog, no sir.You gotta think about the log-istics of the thing, because a toy don't just magically appear on a shelf like a mushroom after a spring rain. So if you’re askin’ me to lay it on the line, man-to-man, clear as a sunny morning in the duck blind: yeah, them toy prices over in Europe are usually gonna bite your wallet a whole lot harder than they do right here in the good ol' U.S. of A.
>>11835829so far my countries local stores have been unreasonably good, we're talking maybe 10-20 bucks more vs importing myself, currently, and honestly dealing with vats and fees just makes it far more reasonable, not to mention I can much easier deal with them when it comes to issues.When I say its cheaper it might genuinely be for me because my own country jacked up the handling fee for imports, which is seperate from VAT and the 3€ eu fee which just genuinely makes it not that far off and maybe worse off sometimes.Basically I am tired boss and I don't want to deal with having to math out how much more I have to pay when the shit lands in the country anymore, also inflation, I am safe from that here.
>>11835838shut up bbts

I want to make a 1:18 Spider-Man figure that's as articulated as >>11834088, but I don't want to use Micromen. Does that female figure have a male counterpart? I hate the MU figures because they're all shit. Best thing I could find was JoyToy's Gladiator buck, but that body's too thick.
>>11835421Toy Biz made a beautiful 1:18 Spiderman.>>11835392too cartoony. There was an Acid RAin version that looked nicer.
>>11835421There are males, but no nude male bucks yet. Use BFS instead see pic related
>>11835442>There was an Acid RAin version that looked nicer.I was gonna say at least the Dakila onse would be cheaper, but nope, the Acid Rain ones are

>>11835580>my wife is way fatter#metooI used grok the other day to make her skinnier than when we first met. Had that image in my head when I plowed her from behind last night. I drank in the bathroom after but at least I don’t collect wrestling figures like a retard.

New legion incoming. Which primarch is joytoy going to give us next? Vulkan or Curze?
Probably Curze since they last gave us Corax a loyalist Primarch.

>>11834766Jazwares has always had poor QC.
Are there any pokopia figures yet? I wanna get a tiny peakychu in the scale of tomy or jazwares
Why the actual fuck is distribution so fucking shit now? Nothing ever arrives in stores and things go at a snails pace to ever arrive anymore. Even the mail is slow as shit and everything id a shitty goddamn preorder now which kills any enjoyment out of them since the figures take so frustratingly long to ever come. I want to kill myself because it frustrates me so goddamn much i dont enjoy this shit hobby anymore i dont enjoy anything anymore.
>>11834403>Other than that, distribution has never changed.Sure it has.Stores are different, the entire store exclusive concept is different.Getting shit shipped for free is different.Places like Ross having high end collectibles like Bandai and SHF is different.
>>11835574You lost pedosoth.
>>11835628Dead braincells.
>>11835646Dead cats pedo
>>11835587but it's still the same. We still dont get ALL the Marvel Legends, Transformers, Necas, McF's and all the vidya lines in store. Only SOME of them can be pre-ordered/readily available in other stores, but not all the time

>>11835080>>11835083>Broad shoulders>Barely any hipsThe figure isn't perfect but can't be criticized for those two proportion choices, that's the manga style alright.
>>11835272yeah I think giving her a better butt would fix the whole thing
>>11835057You don't play with articulated kits?
I remember a thread a little over month back about the lack of Kingdom Hearts figures and now we got the reveal of what looks like the start of a new KH line. The FORM-ISM ACT line(terrible name btw) will feature other Square Enix properties, the only other one so far being a very pricy Weltall from Xenogears released last year.Feel free to talk about the other Square Enix lines as well since I don't see an active general.
Just gonna leave this here in case someone needs a side by side comparison with BA.
>>11835047not bad, hope they redo the kh2 trio and bbs trio
>>11835047It looks good but I dont feel like paying Square again for KH3 Sora so lol.The Formism statues also got Sega characters like the protag from SMTV, nd Digital Devil Saga (the ps2 one) so Im not sure itll even just stick to Square which is neat. I hope they do deep cuts like that although Bring Arts did anyways. Besides properties that got Bring Arts Id love to see Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve, The Bouncer, Racing Lagoon, Einhander, any SaGa game. SMT 1 and 2 protagonists for Sega.
>>11834396I'm legitimately excited for a Yozora figure, but I would kill for KH1 figures. Those are my favourite designs. Unlikely but Luxord and Young Xehanort too.
Got these two this month, love how they scale together. *cough cough* and with my Diamond Select stuff *cough*.

What's a good treasure chest for toy accessories? I just have a lot of mario coins and such
>>11827151A lot of chests have stuff already in them. Probably not the kind you're looking for, but the mimic from Frieren has a couple of figures and is usually spacious since there needs to be enough space for her to fit inside. This one came with the Frieren Luminasta and was like $25.
>>11827428I'm just realizing there's no pics of it open. It'd be crazy if it didn't open, but I can't actually guarantee it.
>>11827563Also there's a range on aliexpress, I go there lots for accessories and most show the size measurements.
>>11827571 Agreed. Ali sells a range of chest sized made of a variety of materials. everything from small (opened and closed) chests to lager one. As well as "coins", gems and mini gold ingots.
>>11827151There's Jazwares Fortnite Loot Chest
Articulated 6” NFL figures are finally fucking happening and none of you said a goddamn word about it until this morning in the DC thread. The reason it was in the DC thread is because McFarlane Toys is who is making these.So far we just have Troy Aikman and Jerry Rice. Not ideal, but it’s a start:https://www.target.com/p/mc-farlane-toys-nfl-articulated-6-34-troy-aikman-legend-series/-/A-95211672https://www.target.com/p/mc-farlane-toys-nfl-articulated-6-34-jerry-rice-legend-series/-/A-95211673Also not ideal is the articulation scheme on these as they don’t have an ab joint or anything approaching a butterfly joint. That’s going to severely hamper posing. Helmets also don’t appear to be removable.So this is a mixed bag, but considering that the last figures even close to this scale with the NFL license were nearly 30 years ago, it’s something to be..mildly excited about.
>>11832414>this "inaugural wave" doesn't have many of the Toddler's shittiest qualities, like the dreaded diaperive seen this sentiment a few times, but it's literally the same soft plastic crotch overlay as every other mcfarlane figure.
>>11832284>>11832279After Jordan and LeBron and Touchdown Tom I'll be out.

>>11834577I don't give a shit. I'm still buttmad they completely abandoned Seed Ver Anime.
>>11835193Whoever is in charge of the Ver ANIME line is dumb for taking the chronological approach.That only works for OYW because its the most popular series, after that they should've just focused on Gundams, Rival suits, and mainline grunts for each series' faction. Stuff like the Messala, Gabaldy and GM II could've been held off for a lot longer because it doesn't sell as well and decreases confidence in the line.Zeta's initial wave should've been>Rick dias>Hizack>MK.

>>11835193I'm thankful we actually got the original five... but yeah...
>>11835297I'm really only tuning into the news for this line for the Gaza-C I love that little freak. I have the MSIA but it's gotten so floppy. Hopefully we'll get it next year.
>>11835297Not just that 0079 is more popular but that the roster is actually reasonably sized. Zeta has 40+ suits; it would have taken way longer than 0079 even if we were still at the same speed as the line was back then.
